Rudbeckia

Each variety has a distinct characteristic. The colour of the flowers varies; they are mostly black, brown, shades of green, and in-between tones.

These flowers feature a prominent central disc, giving rise to their familiar common names of coneflower and black-eyed-susan. There are several hardy flowering herbaceous plants that thrive in Zones 4–9 known as Rudbeckia.

These plants are known by a variety of names, including Black-Eyed Susan, Gloriosa Daisy, and Yellow Ox Eye. This plant belongs to the Asteraceae family and grows in the moist and arid forests and prairies of North America.

During the late summer, rudbeckia produces flowers that are nearly 2-4 feet (60–120 cm) tall and wide. Plants like these usually grow in fields, but they can also be grown in containers or planted in wildflower areas.

Their drought-tolerance makes them perfect for full sun or partial shade in moderately fertile, moist, well-drained soil. Rudbeckia can be grown year-round in most locations.
